CARTER'S
W
e are pleased to announce that Carter's, a popular brand of children's clothing and
accessories, will open at South Shore Center this spring. The new store will be located close to Kohl's and LensCrafters on the west end of the center. Carter's decided to locate at South Shore Center due to the recent influx of family-friendly tenants and our focus on events that appeal to children, teens and adults. "With more visitors coming to South Shore Center for family events, dining, and shopping, Carter's realized this was an excellent opportunity for a new store location," said Julie Taylor, Senior Vice President of Cornish & Carey Commercial Newmark Knight Frank. Carter's, Inc. is the largest branded marketer in the United States of apparel and related products exclusively for babies and young children. The Company owns the Carter's and OshKosh B'gosh brands, two of the most recognized kids brands in the marketplace.

They are also sold through more than 700 company-operated stores in the United States, Canada, and Japan and online at carters.com and oshkoshbgosh.com. Learn more at carters.com.

N
o time of year is sweeter than Girl Scout Cookie time! And this year, the Girl Scouts of Alameda are
back at South Shore Center. You'll find them in Neptune Court and outside of Panera Bread this February and March as follows: •
FRIDAYS: FIRST SHIFT: 3PM - 6PM; SECOND SHIFT: 6PM - 9PM (February 14, 21, 28 and March 7 & 14)
•
SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS: FIRST SHIFT: 9AM - 12PM; SECOND SHIFT 12PM - 3PM; THIRD SHIFT 3PM 6PM; AND FOURTH SHIFT 6PM - 9PM (February 15, 16, 22, 23 and March 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 & 16)
Selling Girl Scout cookies teaches girls how to interact professionally with a wide variety of clients. The girls gain hands-on experience in running a small business and get to bask in the benefits that come with being a bona fide "cookie professional". We encourage you to "Tagalong®" this season and support your Scouts. (Although, be honest: does anyone really need a reason to buy Thin Mints® and Samoas®?) Girl Scout cookie season only comes once a year! Don't miss your favorite flavors!

YUM!
Upstate Chili South Shore Center's sister property Chelsea Market, a worldfamous indoor food hall in New York City, recently published a cookbook. We thought it would be fun to share highlights from this highly refined "not your granddaddy's chili" recipe from Chelsea's best meat market, Dickson Farmstand Meats.
G
ourmet beef shank, preferably boned and ground by an artisan butcher with a "chili" blade, marinated overnight in a mixture con-
taining guajillo and de arbol chiles, vinegar, salt, cumin, oregano, and cloves sets this amazing chili quite apart from its more pedestrian counterparts. Not only does the cut of meat lend a luxurious smoothness to the sauce, but artisan ingredients like Turkish Urfa Biber chile flakes also give an exotic flavor to this uncommonly good chili recipe. Find a how-to video at Fox News (search "upstate chili"), download the full recipe from Epicurious, and get your own copy of the Chelsea Market Cookbook at Amazon.com!
